I hope sky 1 keep there idents they got now if they change them to people idents I think I'm going to throw my tv out the window

If they copy BBC One then I'm never watching it again. Not sure that I would throw my TV out the window though.

I wouldn't be happy about them copying BBC One with "live action idents", but I doubt I would chuck my TV out of the window either - mainly because it would land on my car. Rolling Eyes

Make a good Judge Rinder case that would - "I threw my telly out the window when Sky1 launched live-action idents and it hit a man walking a dog. The startled dog ran off into the middle of the road and got run over by a bus. I don't think I'm responsible!"

^Won't be surprised if that's exactly what they do. Sky Uno is the Italian Sky One, so I would expect the plan to be a set of idents that can be used on both, as well as Sky One Germany.


If the channels do all start using the same pres, it may lead to Sky Eins. Worth noting that none of the European Sky Sport channels are using the new Sky Sports logo. The promos and announcer on Sky1 Germany actually refers to the channel as "Sky One". It would be strange for the UK and Germany to be branded as Sky One and Italy as Sky Uno post the forthcoming rebrand. Launching these new logos is probably the last thing Sky should be doing at the moment. I'm sure the Sky Italia creative team love seeing the UK launch yet another new batch of logos. It took long enough for the previous logos to roll out in Italy. I have lost count how many times Sky Uno has updated its logo on its current idents!

Now you both are just being ridiculous. The main reason TV exists is to show programmes; idents and other OSP are simply tools to get people to watch those programmes.

Doesn’t programming come first before idents? And either way, judging from their recent work, I bet that Sky Creative have something decent coming along for the Sky entertainment channels.

Even then, some of the idents on Sky 1 don't even use the logo, so I think the 1 might still be in use when the new logo comes out. Maybe the 1 jumps out the ONE somehow.

I think that Sky One would just remove the ident with the logo and leave the other 4 in.

.. and have a large blue rectangle in the bottom right-hand corner containing the new Sky One logo! Seriously though if the current idents remain it would only be temporary. When Sky Arts launched its new logo removing the stylised A it continued to use the old idents and just changed the centralised logo that fades on screen at the end. A couple of months later, idents matching the new logo were launched.

Maybe they'll do what I said with sky1 and similar to Atlantic and Living until all channels are finished with being rebranded, then new idents will be released.
